MEV is worse than a zero. Zeros still give credit for incomplete work, MEV or "Incomplete" does not. It forces the student to actually do the work before passing or moving on.
Okay, so zeroes should be eliminated because they only reflect that the student didn't complete their work. But MEVs are better because they are used to show the student has demonstrated 0% evidence of having understood, apparently by not completing their work.
